This morning, I tumbled to a piece of history that had never occurred to me before, but first: 1. My wife has a “swear word” she uses frequently, 2. My wife is Slovakian and damn proud of it. Ever wonder why that area of the world is always being invaded, conquered, assimilated, what-have-you? Picture this: an army is rolling up to the Slovakian border. The Slovaks are lined up to repel; as they charge into skirmish, the battle cry (swear words, epithets, expletives, etc.) from a thousand mouths assaults the invaders: **"JEEZ-O PETE’S!"** ---

A British police procedural where everyone has smutty/ insulting names, and no comment is ever made on it: “Mr. Buggermonkey? I’m Chief Inspector Smallpenis, and this is my partner Sargent Shitpants”. ---

Well, Sam Spade would have typically been referred to as a private dick. Which would make police detectives public dicks. Which is kind of illegal in most places. Odd not to find that sort of thing in a novel by Philip K. Dick. ---

Is a Brown Liquor like a brown noser? I’ve heard of liquors having a good nose. Also, I heard this one dyke bar was full of Lesbian Liquors, but they seem to have the same booze as everyone else. ---

What a terrible thing it is to wake up with the pun. I was thinking about a programming language called C. It is a highly popular language, which is kind of hard to understand, because it is clunky, has some confusing symbology and encourages the sort of software design that leads to viruses and malware. So why does it seem to be everywhere? I concluded it must be because all the other languages are not C. Which was still better than the South American pack animal with 3 crossed tuning forks tattooed on its side. ---

Weather warmed up a bit. Got up on the roof to look for any signs of damage from that windstorm a few weeks ago. The roof was covered with magic flying reindeer turds. Fucking jerks, always on _my_ roof. What is with them, anyway. And geez, as it thaws, that is some stinky shit. ---
